Knitting Wars: a new telly show?
No, just a fake billboard from PBS mocking the dominance of ridiculous reality TV shows (via the Wrap).

“Crewe ‘guerrilla knitters’ mark Queen’s Diamond Jubilee.”
That’s a nice story, right? Thanks to BBC Stoke and Staffordshire for that one.
Women’s Hour on embroidery.
Nice to see the Radio 4 covering embroidery. Hear artist Sarah Greaves here.
